Advanced treatments
Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas, are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus. They are one of the most common gynecological conditions affecting women, especially during the reproductive years. While many women with fibroids may not experience symptoms, others may face significant discomfort, menstrual disturbances, fertility issues, or pregnancy-related complications. At Apex Medical and Surgical Center, we offer comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment for fibroid uterus, focusing on symptom relief, uterine health preservation, and overall well-being. Our care approach is ethical, evidence-based, and tailored to each woman’s age, symptoms, and reproductive goals.
A fibroid uterus refers to the presence of one or more fibroids in the uterine wall, cavity, or outer surface. Fibroids vary in size—from very small seed-like growths to large masses that can alter the shape of the uterus.
Fibroids are usually benign and hormone-sensitive, often influenced by estrogen and progesterone levels.
Based on their location, fibroids are classified as:
Develop within the muscular wall of the uterus and are the most common type.
Grow into the uterine cavity and are often associated with heavy bleeding and fertility issues.
Project to the outer surface of the uterus and may cause pressure symptoms.
Attached to the uterus by a stalk and may occur inside or outside the uterus.
Symptoms depend on the size, number, and location of fibroids. Common symptoms include:
Some women may remain asymptomatic, and fibroids are detected incidentally during routine check-ups.
The exact cause of fibroid development is unknown, but several factors increase risk:
At Apex Medical and Surgical Center, accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment. Evaluation may include:
Treatment depends on symptom severity, fibroid size and location, age, and fertility plans.
In suitable cases, minimally invasive techniques may be recommended to manage fibroids while preserving the uterus.
Surgery may be advised when fibroids cause significant symptoms or complications.
Removal of fibroids while preserving the uterus—ideal for women wishing to retain fertility.
Complete removal of the uterus, recommended only when other treatments are ineffective or when childbearing is complete.
The choice of surgery is made after detailed discussion and patient consent.
Fibroids, particularly submucosal and large intramural types, may interfere with fertility and pregnancy. Timely diagnosis and appropriate management can significantly improve reproductive outcomes.
Post-treatment care focuses on:
A fibroid uterus is a manageable condition, and with the right medical guidance, women can lead healthy, comfortable lives. At Apex Medical and Surgical Center, we are committed to providing compassionate, reliable, and effective care for uterine fibroids.
